I'm not ashamed to admit I listened to the two Pondsmith videos like five times. His voice convinces me to love again.

Also, you know why I'm supportin this game, even with no video released? Because you can fucking tell those two guys there are passionate about it. They want to make a good game because they love to make games, and because, as they said SEVERAL times-- they can't wait to play it either! CD Projekt RED all up in here.

I don't really think they have much leeway there-- the pen and paper game is CALLED Cyberpunk 2020, after all.

Yeah, at best they slap a subtitle on or something. Well, it's not like Dungeons & Dragons RPGs are typically called Dungeons & Dragons, but then you have countless fantasy RPGs and quite a few games based on that license, versus this only having the one game just now. I suppose if more somehow sprang up like D&D they'd eventually demote that to a branding and focus on actual names.

To be fair though, we are rapidly closing in on 2020 and we're not even close enough to be considered to be dystopian cyberpunk ready yet. Much like how we wont have Cold Fusion ready to enable our time traveling DeLorieans to both fly and time travel without the need for plutonium/12.1 jiggawatts of lightning by 2015 at the rate we're going.
